| Furthermore, I have to wonder why installing GNU emacs should be a

| FSF/GNU's virtual customer base. So why doesn't the emacs distribution
| have the files already prepared that you need to compile under 386/ix?
| Huh? If anybody has made these files, howzabout sending them to FSF?

RMS doesn't like System V, so he won't include System V diffs unless they're
ready-to-install into his source tree and don't break anything else.  (Hmph.
